# Change LDAP Directory Settings

The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server, and can be accessed using an LDAP client, such as the Address Book feature in Netscape Communicator.

1. Configure your LDAP client with the local IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server root parameter shown below.

   Server root dc=tug2,dc=mitel,dc=com

2. Set control access to your LDAP directory. Select "Allow access only from local networks" or select "Allow access public access (entire Internet).

3. Set the LDAP defaults for your organization. Whenever you create a new user account, you will be prompted to enter all of the following fields (they can be different for each user) but the values you set in this form appear as the defaults:

   - Department

   - Company

   - Street Address

   - City

   - Phone Number.

4. To keep the current values for these fields in existing user accounts, select "Leave as they are". The defaults will only be applied when you create a new account. To apply the defaults to all existing users as well, select "Update with new defaults".

5. Click Save.
